Members UstadKhanAli Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 I don't know him. Can Rodney Dangerfield hold a candle to 'im? But that's not so much bitter as self-deprecating....okay, I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not so much bitter as self-deprecating....okay, I give up. I was feeling generationally excluded 'til I saw that, Ken. Since you're at least a couple decades younger than I, that makes me feel a little better. What worries me, though, is how steadfastly I'm resisting just going to YouTube to find out what's up... But then the fact that my response would be to find him on YouTube... We're ALL going post-literate... I thought I'd be the last to go and yet here I am... "I'll just Google him... no, better yet, cut to the chase: YouTube him." ___________________ UPDATE: No, what I SHOULD be worried about is that I was just watching this guy on YouTube a couple weeks ago. That makes me feel as old as Lewis Black looks. Oh, wait, I think I am. Emerging conviction: not everyone should be allowed to post content to YouTube since not everyone seems to understand that holding a webcam and desktop mic in front of a TV is NOT the best way to share a good bit from the box... Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the stranger Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 All I know is The Last Laugh on Comedy Central was some funny {censored}. And yeah...he might be bitter, but considering his subject matter, he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're at least a couple decades younger than I, that makes me feel a little better. Oh, hey, if I can make someone feel better, even unintentionally, that's all good!! You're a couple of decades older? So you're 37? We're ALL going post-literate... I thought I'd be the last to go and yet here I am... "I'll just Google him... no, better yet, cut to the chase: YouTube him." It's sort of like having a ridiculously all-encompassing set of encyclopedias, though, isn't it? I mean, sure, we're not looking up things and reading quite as much, but the accessibility is really fascinating. Obviously, going post-literate has its drawbacks - if you don't believe me, check out just about any chatroom - but the accessibility is fascinating to me. I look up all sorts of things constantly, just about every day. Doesn't matter whether it's looking up the etiology of a phrase, looking up a historical event or figure, trying to figure out the recipe for sopa a la criolla or whatever.

Members deanmass Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 ALL comedians are better than Richard Lewis..I cannot stand him...the forehead grab thing, crouched, Peter Falk walk....cringe.... Old School- PryorFamily- CosbyMid-School- Eddie MurphyClassic- Red Foxx I used to like George Carlin alot, but I just fried out on his 'wit'. Ron White is a current fave, just cause of the 'I don't think so, f*cker.....and I was wrong" line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by UstadKhanAli When I got my first modern notebook not long after my favorite coffee house put in free Wi-Fi I pretty much took it into the coffee shop every day so I wouldn't have to fight for leftover sections of newspaper.

Members Super 8 Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 Originally posted by Geoff Grace 10 comedians more bitter than Lewis Black I got two. Andrew Dice Clay after his career took a nose dive. Very bitter... And John Belushi during his Weekend Update commentaries.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8qgIKfqHqw Originally posted by Slomo Sam Kinison I never could stomach Sam Kinison. He's like a heavy metal Larry the Cable Guy. But he was certainly bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jimbroni Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 Lewis Black cracks me up, so did Bill Hicks. That is about the closest comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deanmass Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Man, I must have been 1/2 asleep when I posted...I read 'better than Richard Lewis', when it was 'moe bitter than Lewis Black'.... I LOVE Lewis Black...Unlike Bill Hicks, I found him funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ShakaCthulu Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Originally posted by Geoff Grace Got any? Me neither... Best, Geoff George Carlin Bill Hicks (he's dead though, does he count? He's probably bitter about being dead) Dennis Leary (he doesn't do comedy much anymore...maybe doesn't count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
